a smile can go a long way ...
if there's one type of ppl that's hard to find on the roads of kl, it's a courteous person. every day i drive to uni and back and trust me, it's not easy trying to cut into a lane. most ppl just refuse to slow down to let u pass, and worse still, there are some idiots who purposely speed up when they see u signal. or even when u're already a quarter way in. and even if they were a mile away before u signalled. assholes. hello?! at least i had the manners to signal! i hate those ill-mannered idiots who dont and suddenly cut into ur lane.
anyway, let's not talk about them. they dont deserve my time. so today, i was going to turn into the junction near my house and there was this guy there who was going to turn out. since he was there before me and there wasnt anyone behind, i decided to let him go first. but he beckoned to let me go instead. so when i was passing by his car, i smiled gratefully and he returned my smile. then i looked properly and i realised it was ... (at least i think it was) Black! haha even if it wasnt him after all, it's nice to see that there are still some of these ppl out there.
have u ever been really down or in a bad mood, but then u encounter a nice person and ur whole mood changes? even if that person doesnt do anything but smile, u get this really warm and fuzzy feeling inside that makes u really happy. similarly, have u ever been in a good mood and u meet some ill-tempered person who glares at u or scold u for no reason and then u become bad tempered too?
it's funny how our moods affect those around us so easily. so be careful how u behave the next time! u might just ruin someone's day. or fix it.
i want to be one of those pleasant ppl who makes other ppl's day. :)
so pass on a smile today! who knows, it might come right back to u when u least expect it or need it most! :)
